Recycling Made Easy with Earth911.com

How can you get involved in making the world a better place? A few simple ways would be to first begin recycling products that you purchase & have laying around. Many of you already participate since some communities have recycling as part of the garbage service that picks up certain paper, glass, plastic products. If you don't recycle then start today and for at least a week recycle all product packaging, magazines, papers, envelopes etc. Clean out your garage and house. Take these special recycling products not processed through your garbage service to a recycling facility in your area. To make this process easier you can check out Earth 911.com to find a recycling center near you: Search For Recycling Centers Interestingly, Earth911.com provides a handy Apple Iphone app to help you learn about local recycling in your area. They also have a RecycleMe(tm) labeling program for businesses to help them help consumers recycle their products insuring there product life cycle loop gets closed by improving the end of life cycle for their products.

** The US E.P.A estimates that 75% of human waste is recyclable **

The second simple way to Change The World and make a sustainable impact this week is to start Composting. Starting a compost pile or bin is easier than you might think and there are lots of easy ways to get started. Here is a great way to start: 8 Ways To Green Your Trash.

Thanks Aree. I invited you to join the Change The World Group At Blog Catalog Change The World and participate in the weekly challenge. I hope you will participate and spread the word to get others involved.

Awesome challenge, we already have reduced our no recycled garbage output to only 1-2 bags per week, tops. But we do have to have 2 recycle bins... :D To up the challenge, maybe we should see who can find or identify what items can be composted for later use in the garden?
